What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive environment where I can grow and assist others.

I am a highly motivated individual with a bachelor's degree in psychology, eager to leverage my skills in an entry-level position. My experience spans various roles, including rehabilitation therapy technician and direct child care worker, where I honed my abilities in communication, empathy, and leadership.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my high-quality documentation and time management skills. I have worked closely with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, implementing treatment plans and providing direct support. My commitment to fostering a safe and nurturing environment has been a cornerstone of my work, ensuring the well-being of those I serve.

As I embark on the next chapter of my career, I am excited to utilize my knowledge and skills to contribute positively to a team. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to assist others and promote personal and professional growth.
